"And that's a wrap! Good job, Lexi. We got some great shots." The photographer told her.

Alexis stood up from the throne chair she posed on and straightened out her light pink Herve Ledger bandage dress. She walked up to the photographer and looked at the photos he took of her on his cameras. She loved the looks that were chosen for her and she thought they showcased her style very well. Of course she had her favorites out of the many photos he took.

She walked towards Sandra who gave her two thumbs up.

"You looked fantastic." She complimented her.

"Thanks, Sandra." Alexis smiled.

"You go ahead, get changed and everything and then we'll head over to 106 & Park, ok?"

"Got it."

Alexis walked off to the dressing room, closing the door behind her. She took off the heels and unzipped the dress, sliding it down her body. She changed into her denim mini skirt, fitted black halter top, matching open toed heels and her cropped denim jacket. She grabbed her purse and her phone before walking out of the dressing room.

Her and Sandra walked out of the photo studio and got into the SUV. Sandra informed the driver to take them to 106 & Park and the driver nodded his head before driving off onto the road.

"Ok, so after your performance on 106 & Park, all you have to do is head to the studio. You don't have anything on the agenda for tomorrow, but if anything changes, I will let you know." Sandra told her.

"Wow, I actually have an off day. I'm shocked." Alexis chuckled.

"Don't get too happy. Things could change very quick." Sandra chuckled also, "Especially with how high in demand you are."

"Yeah, I understand."

After getting through the New York traffic, the car pulled up to 106 & Park. Alexis and Sandra walked in through the back and saw A.J. and Free conversing with Ashanti.

"Lexi Parsons! Welcome to the show, girl!" Free smiled, giving her a hug.

"We are excited to have you here." A.J. told her, shaking her hand.

"Thank you. I'm excited to be here. You two are the best hosts of the show." Alexis complimented her.

"Aww, thank you, girl. We'll have you closing out towards the end of the show after our interview with Ashanti. So you should be on in about forty five minutes." Free informed her.

"Ok, great." She nodded her head.

"We'll see you two out there soon." A.J. smiled.

The two of them walked away from her and Ashanti smiled at Alexis.

"Girl, allow me to say you did your thing at the VMAs. I was so mad when you didn't win for Best R&B Video. No disrespect to Bey or any of the other nominees, but Fatality was visually stunning. And then for you to tear the house down by performing after Christina, you killed it." She complimented her.

"Aww, thank you, girl. I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous as hell going after Christina. She is a vocal beast." Alexis admitted.

"But don't sell yourself short. You are a vocal beast yourself. I'm always rooting for you and I'm on Team Lexi for sure. You got it."
